Saturday...the wpc qualifier, otherwise known as the Google US Puzzle Championship. It was really intense, I think...I surprised myself by managing to solve 12 out of the 23 puzzles in the test, possibly scoring 219 points, which would be my highest score ever. Then again, I have to wonder whether it is because my solving skills improved, or it is an easier test this year? I don't know. In any case, I had a good time solving these puzzles at lightning speed under sweltering heat (yeah, without air con, the room temperature went up to 85 degrees F).

Headed off to the end of the engineering convo after the test was done. It was really hot outside, so my hats off to the grads who stayed in the grad gowns. Stayed around, took some pictures, didn't talk much. It's nice, though, I think. For some reason, Leonard still called me David...heh, strange but fun guy. I guess I sort of wanted to stay a bit longer, but for Michael's sake, went to the fellowship instead.

Fellowship was ok, I guess. The dinner at a downtown Korean restaurant was also ok, but once again, a bit overpriced. I just felt tired the entire day, actually, and just quite depressed about the fall earlier in the day. It was a mix of extreme emotions the entire day, which I had a hard time handling.
